The chaotic behavior of a carbon nanotube with waviness along its axis is investigated. The equation of motion involves a quadratic and cubic terms due to the curved geometry and the mid-plane stretching. Melnikov method is applied for the system, and Melnikov criterion for global homoclinic bifurcations is obtained analytically. The numerical solution of the system using a fourth-order-Runge–Kutta method confirms the analytical predictions and shows that the transition from regular to chaotic motion is often associated with increasing the energy of an oscillator. Moreover, a detailed numerical study of the periodic attractor in the period window is also carried out.

Conveying Fluid

The subharmonic and chaotic behavior of a two end-fixed fluid conveying pipe whose base is subjected to a harmonic excitation are investigated. Melnikov method is applied for the system, and Melnikov criterions for subharmonic and homoclinic bifurcations are obtained analytically. The numerical simulations (including bifurcation diagrams, maximal Lyapunov exponents, phase portraits and Poincare map) confirm the analytical predictions and exhibit the complicated dynamical behaviors.

The existence and stability of subharmonic oscillations in a two end-fixed fluid conveying pipe whose base is subjected to a harmonic excitation are investigated. A Galerkin approach is utilized to reduce the equation of motion to a second order nonlinear differential equation. The conditions for the existence of subharmonic oscillations are given by using Melnikov method. The stability of subharmonic oscillations is discussed in detail by using action-angle variable and averaging method. It is shown that the velocity of fluid plays an important role in the stability of subharmonic oscillations.

The Basin Of Attraction

The chaotic behavior of the modified Rayleigh–Duffing oscillator with [Formula: see text] potential and external excitation is investigated both analytically and numerically. The so-called oscillator models, for example, ship rolling motions. The single well and triple well potential cases are considered. Melnikov method is applied and the conditions for the existence of homoclinic and heteroclinic chaos are obtained. The effects of nonlinear damping on roll motion of ships are analyzed in detail. As it is known, nonlinear roll damping is a very important parameter in estimating ship responses. It is noted that the pure and unpure quadratic damping parameters affect the Melnikov criterion in the heteroclinic and homoclinic cases respectively while the pure cubic parameter affects the amplitude in both cases. The predictions have been tested with numerical simulations based on the basin of attraction. It is pointed out that certain quadratic damping effects are contrary to cubic damping effect.

The Numerical study of the flow of a fluid in the annular region between two eccentric sphere susing PHP Code isinvestigated. This flow is created by considering the inner sphere to rotate with angular velocity 1  and the outer sphererotate with angular velocity 2  about the axis passing through their centers, the z-axis, using the three dimensionalBispherical coordinates (, ,) .The velocity field of fluid is determined by solving equation of motion using PHP Codeat different cases of angular velocities of inner and outer sphere. Also Finite difference code is used to calculate surfacetractions at outer sphere.

This work touches two important cases for the motion of a pendulum called Sub and Ultra-harmonic cases. The small parameter method is used to obtain the approximate analytic periodic solutions of the equation of motion when the pivot point of the pendulum moves in an elliptic path. Moreover, the fourth order Runge-Kutta method is used to investigate the numerical solutions of the considered model. The comparison between both the analytical solution and the numerical ones shows high consistency between them.

Stick Slip

Abstract Systems with discontinuous dynamics can be found in diverse disciplines. Meshing gears with backlash, impact dampers, relative motion of components that exhibit stick-slip phenomena axe but a few examples from mechanical systems. These form a class of dynamical systems where the nonlinearity is so severe that analysis becomes formidable, especially when global behavior needs to be known. Only recently have researchers attempted to investigate such systems in terms of modern dynamical systems theory. In this work, an impact oscillator with two-sided rigid constraints is used as a paradigm for studying the characteristics of discontinuous dynamical systems. The oscillator has zero stiffness and is subjected to harmonic excitation. The system is linear without impacts. However, the impacts introduce nonlinearity and dissipation (assuming inelastic impacts). A numerical algorithm is developed for studying the global dynamics of the system. A peculiar type of solution in which the trajectories in phase space from a certain set of initial conditions merge in finite time, making the dynamics non-invertible, is investigated. Also, the effect of “grazing,” a behavior common to constrained systems, on the dynamics of the system is studied. Based on the experience gained in studying this system, the need for an efficient general-purpose numerical algorithm for solving discontinuous dynamical systems is motivated. Investigation of stress, vibration, wear, noise, etc. that are associated with impact phenomena can benefit greatly from such an algorithm.

This short paper is focused on the bifurcation theory found in map functions called evolution functions that are used in dynamical systems. The most well-known example of discrete iterative function is the logistic map that puts into evidence bifurcation and chaotic behavior of the topology of the logistic function. We propose a new iterative function based on Lorentizan function and its generalized versions, based on numerical study, it is found that the bifurcation of the Lorentzian function is of second-order where it is characterized by the absence of chaotic region.
